6. Do Not store flammable materials in the drawer.

7. Use only dry potholders. If moist or damp potholders are
used, steam from potholders could cause a steam burn. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements located under
the drawer. Do not use a towel or bulky cloths in place of
potholders.

8. Wear proper apparel - Loose fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance.

9. Use care when opening the drawer. Let hot air or steam
escape (open vent) before removing or replacing food.

10. Do not place food in unopened containers in the drawer.
Pressure could build up and cause the container to burst.

11. Never use the appliance for other than intended use.

12. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

13. Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer. It is an excellent
heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the
performance and can damage the interior finish.

14. Keep warming drawer vent ducts unobstructed.

16. Keep drawer closed when not in use.

16. Placement of warming racks - Always place racks in desired
position while drawer is cool. If racks must be moved while
warming drawer is hot, do not let potholder contact heating
elements.

17. Do not heat articles that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off
vapors that could ignite or explode.

18. Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your warming
drawer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute
to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

19. Do not use heat on articles containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials.

20. Do not install or store units where they will be exposed to the
weather.

Operation

Your warming drawer works in two ways:

1. Sealing moisture within the drawer to keep food moist

2. Allowing the moisture to escape and keep food crisp
The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods
at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food
cannot be heated in the warming drawer.

Heating Options:

A. Moist Heat

This prevents food from drying out, since moisture, as well as
heat, is applied to the warming chamber.

1. Your warming drawer comes with two low racks and a
moisture cup. One low rack has an opening in the rear center
for the moisture cup. Place low racks in warming drawer. Fill
the moisture cup approximately half full with water. (Should
use approximately 1/2” cup water). Place the moisture cup
in the opening in the rear center of the low rack.

2. Place the food directly on the rack or you can use any pans
that will fit in the warming drawer. The rack supports the
food off of the steam vents where slight amounts of moisture
may appear.

3. Open the front moisture selector control located on the
DEWD models half-way. (See moisture selector section on
page 7.) Additional adjustments to the control may become
necessary depending upon the type and amount of food
stored in the drawer, the number of times the drawer is
opened per hour, and the temperature setting.

B. Dry Heat (DEWD Models only)

For some applications you may want to store previously prepared
foods in a “dry heat” environment. This can be easily accomplished
by placing the food directly into the empty drawer pan and sliding
the moisture control selector to open. This allows the moist heat to
escape and provides a dry environment for the food.

C. Optional Accessories for Moist or Dry Heat

Pans / Lids - This warming drawer is designed to accommodate
standard size pan inserts. The optional pan/lid set consists of one 4”
D. x 12” L. x 10½” W. pan/lid, two 4” D. x 12” L. x 7” W. pans/lids,
and two 2½” D. x 12” L. x 7” W. pans/lids.
